trustees The future of a university lies greatly in the forethought and adeptness of its Board of Trustees. Through their intricate planning and devoted efforts, our university continues to grow in every aspect, and it is the responsibility of this board to meet the problems of an ever increasing student body. Their decisions are not easy ones, since they are often hampered by complications which can be straightened out only through arduous hours of work by these qualified individuals.

PRESIDENT DONNELLON, a familiar figure to both graduates and undergraduates, is seen at work in his Mendel Hall office. As the President of a growing university, Rev. James A. Donnellon, O.S.A., has been, through his calm demeanor and capable guidance, a paragon of leadership to all of us. He has carried well the burden which his position entails, and he has been highly instrumental in both the physical and academic growth of Villanova University. To our Class especially he has been very close, since he undertook his task when we entered school in our Freshman year. His warm words of welcome were encouraging to us, and he is well acquainted with the various experiences that we, as a class, have encountered. 16
